Question What would you do with $600?

Hey all,

I need some suggestions... I have a 99tl that is all stock right now. I was wondering what would be the first thing that you would get... Thanks in advance for your help.

They pretty much are satisfaction guarenteed. You can generally find them under "Intakes" Get one that is multi tasking adaptable. These units does not require any welding nor bolt on work. I recommend you try several different placement to find a good fit before settling. Caution, if mounted too quickly, you may experience a blown head gasket, in which case you need to take it back to the nearest dealership, wait 2 hours and ask for a replacement head gasket, continue remount of these units.

Tim won't carry this. And he doesn't allow group buys either. We tried on a particular tire product already.

Drazzilb01,

CAI and Springs and shocks. You can get all 3 if you do the install yourself. There's a bunch of information in the FAQ on how to do the install.

I agree with Mr. Hyde. Improve the stance and handling first.

I'd go on a $600 shopping spree in IKEA or buy a ride on lawn mower.
